It may or may not be true that self-identification is falling away for me.

To this self, it appears so.

I certainly have experienced the Dream of the World in a way that cannot be articulated.

For many years I believed my experience was solitary. Then, as the suffering of seeing illusions everywhere I looked overwhelmed this self’s logic, I started to find my experience in the words of the great wisdom teachers before me.

Every time I find a collection of words that reflects the Oneness I feel, my soul rejoices in this recognition.

I cannot say this has made the process easier, but it has made me feel less alone.

Pain is a natural result of an emotional or physical injury. It is contained to a specific act or event. If pain is left to its own devices, it will run its course and return the injured party to peace.

Suffering happens when we argue with our pain. When we label pain or judge it harshly, it begins to bleed on to our character, our hopes and our dreams. We suffer deeply as a result. Immersed in this complexity, our hearts are cut off from Love.

Pain, though uncomfortable, quickly moves through us. Pain has a purpose. Pain will help us return to wholeness.

In contrast, suffering spreads like hot lava until we forget we were ever whole. The burning edges of it singe every facet of our existence.

There are things our eyes cannot see and our hearts cannot know until will break ourselves free from old ways of thinking.

Happiness is the last, great illusion to crumble before we accept our Truth.

Happiness is a fine mist that covers our Vision. There is no way to sustainably grasp it. The wisps we catch evaporate before they solidify.

There is a burden attached to finding this happiness. We often do not notice it until it begins to break apart our understanding of the world. Usually, when an ultimate goal or dream is achieved and we are left empty and hollow, then the whispers of Truth grow louder.

We have no business being happy.

We have every right to be free.

Whatever we choose each day defines our spiritual goals. Each choice has its wisdom. Each way leads to Love.

Choose the one that makes you whole in the moment.

It is okay to choose happiness. Truth does not ask you to let go of something you want.
